OPTIMAL CITIES
Status date: 17 January 2022
Companion enabling the development of Healthy, Wealthy and Wise cities.
DOSHP
Status date: 17 January 2022
We optimise harvest planning for farmers. We use Earth observation to map the terrain, altitude, NDVI and soil data, and satellite navigation (GNSS) to validate and to direct the machinery. We combine this with weather data, machine learning and dynamic resource allocation to produce a digital twin of the environment the farmers operate in, that allows them to make data-driven operational decisions on a day-to-day.
A.I.Perion
Status date: 13 January 2022
AIperion is a SaaS that supports the crop insurance claim management process through the use of A.I., Earth Observation and Meteorological data.
Sat4Safety
Status date: 07 January 2022
This study has as its main objective to identify the real-life pragmatic needs of the public safety stakeholders within the Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) entities – on the specific topics of using (secure) satellite communication and satellite observation, to better address their own services offered to the public.
These PPDR stakeholders are identified and included as co-participants in the study – in order to make sure they represent a relevant set of end-users and that their indicated needs and requirements can be used to design and implement future satellite service that will benefit all/most of the (EU/world) PPDR entities.
PoF
Status date: 16 December 2021
A consortium consisting of Arthur D. Little, CLS and Marlink are performing a study on how space-based technologies can be leveraged in the modernization of ports. The study includes a full range of Space-based technologies including satellite communications GNSS, SAT-AIS and Earth Observation and how these technologies could be applied in combination with terrestrial assets.
ClimField
Status date: 29 November 2018
